All the mining and exploratoin described above is situated on the western side of the minerals-rich Golden Triangle of British Columbia shown in the map below, which also shows the location of Roanan's claims.

Past mining of gold- and silver-bearing veins on Roanan's claim have been sub-vertical and associated with faulting. Shown below are cross-sectional illustrations* of common ore shoot controls in normal and normal-oblique fault-vein systems. Vein development is shown in red. Careful structural mapping of existing adits and of core from new drill holes can be used used to identify areas with a maximum likelihood of vein development.

The Roanan claims also have potential for hosting a porphyry copper/gold deposit, which can often be the source of the kind of vein mineralisation present on the Roanan claims. The relationship between epithermal gold veins and copper/gold porphyry deposits is shown in the figure below*.
